At the mouth of the Teifi Estuary, Poppit Sands is a sandy beach backed by dunes. At high water there is plenty of beach but it’s a low tide when the full extent of sand appears to go almost to Gwbert on the other side. Don’t attempt a crossing, though, the currents are too strong. Watch the tide when it’s coming in. It’s fast! Dog restriction apply to the western end of the beach between 1st May and 30th September. It is the start of the 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path which takes you right around the coast to Amroth in the south.
